Volvo S70 OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
William
Scarborough, Maine
Reliable and safe
This is one of the last Volvo sedans available with a manual transmission. The engine is naturally aspirated so it has slow pickup but the inline five-cylinder engine is good on gas for such a heavy car. Being a Volvo, it has an abundance of safety features that are quite advanced for its age. The quality of the steel and paint is exceptional - a very important factor for such an old car in a northern climate where salt is used on the road. No rust even at 20 years of age. Cloth interior is simple and contributes to a very quiet cabin. There are many of these cars still on the road - great if you can find an owner willing to part with it!

Enjoyable driving experience.
I really enjoy this car. It accelerates very quickly, and it's just a real joy to drive. There are lots of features on this model, too. Sunroof works seamlessly, as its auto-mechanically operated, and the other power options all work as one would expect them to. The body aesthetics are well conceived, and the rear spoiler option is a subtle, yet very welcome addition to this model type. Drivetrain feels strong and durable, and the ride quality is very sufficient for a car in this category. I also like that this particular model allows the user to change the shifting experience per the need at the time. Later models within this S70 model do not allow anything except for W or "winter mode" to be configured by the user. I like having the option to control that myself. It has slightly above average gas mileage based on my use, and the car runs cool even in this debilitating heat we deal with in Florida here. I also like that it has an auto off on everything after 20 minutes of staying on without actually running. You wont ever have to worry about this car having a dead battery because you left your lights on in the car, for instance. Overall, it seems to be well worth the investment, and I highly recommend the experience of driving one someday. If this one breaks one day, I'll definitely be looking for a low mileage one near my location to buy.
